Case Study

Equator is the leading provider of default software solutions for servicers, real estate agents, vendors and other mortgage and real estate industry professionals.The company’s infrastructure software as a service (iSaaS) solutions include EQ Workstation®, EQ Marketplace®, EQ Midsource® and EQ Portals™ and have processed more than $200 billion in transactions. Five of the top six financial institutions and one Government-Sponsored Enterprise currently use Equator’s platform.

When they wanted to make their entire suite of software available on the iOS and android platforms is was no small task to say the least. Myself and the UX team wanted to streamline the process for agents who wanted to upload and sell properties from there mobile devices. They also needed a messaging and tasking application that was similar to what there were used to.

Project Info

I also contributed in concepting, wireframing, product work ﬂow, user interface design, documentation, iterations based on group critique and user studies, front-end coding and directing developers and multiple stakeholders.

Client: Equator

Skills: Photoshop, Axure, HTML, CSS

Initial Sketches

Some simple sketches to get the ball rolling. I like to bring my sketch book to the initial meetings to get the ideas out of my head as soon as possible. Everything from interface drawings to business notes, it all flies when new ideas are introduced.

Wireframes and Prototypes

The wireframes for this project started with just the most basic functionality from the business requirements. That way we could get the developers to create an HTML prototype while more detailed was being flushed out. This actually worked out great because we our clients using the product and giving us feedback while we were finishing the designs.

Story boards and documentation

Redesign

The week before this project was to be delivered a new VP of marketing was hired. She requested a redesign of the entire app so the in house design/dev team at Equator went to work. All in all I’m very proud of our work.
